- Social network X updated its developer agreement to ban third parties from using its content to train large language models.
- The change was made under the 'Reverse Engineering and other Restrictions' section, specifically prohibiting the use of X API or content for training AI models.
- This update follows X's acquisition by Elon Musk's AI company, xAI, in March, likely to prevent competitors from freely accessing X's data.
- Previously, X had modified its privacy policy to use public data for AI training and allowed third-party model training in October 2023.
- Other platforms like Reddit and The Browser Company have also implemented measures to block AI crawlers from accessing their data.
